Mixed Fruit Smoothie
Use your favorite fruits to make a refreshing smoothie on a hot summer’s evening. We’ve recommended berries here, because they’re easy to work with in smoothies, but any fruit frozen in bite-sized pieces will work just as well.
Mediterranean Eggplant & Barley Salad
Perfectly baked eggplant and zucchini should have a soft, buttery texture that almost melts in your mouth. Combine with chewy barley and a crisp, lemon dressing, this filling and unusual warm salad is a flavorful addition to your dinner recipes.
Lemon Blueberry Flax Muffins
Whole-wheat flour and ground flax seed boost the nutritional value of these tasty muffins that pair the winning combination of lemon and blueberry for wonderful flavor.
